Chapter 628: The Alliance of Phantom Thieves
“Ding Dong——”
“Hello, home delivery. Please sign for it.”
Opening the door, Shimabukuro Kimie looked at it The flat package, which was more than 1 meter high, was stunned for a while, and then under another urging of the courier, he slowly took out the name stamp for signing.
"Amamiya Ten, right? Stamp it here——"
"Ignore him, Sister Jun Hui, and drag him in directly." Tang Ze, holding a toothbrush in his mouth, poked his head down from the stairs.
“Eh?” Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned and looked carefully at the courier who was covering half of his face with a peaked cap.
"Hey, what's the matter?" He raised his head, revealing a very ordinary and unforgettable face. The confused courier touched the back of his head, "Do we know each other?"
< br>Shimabukuro Kimie was still hesitating, but Hoshikawa Teru, who had dark circles under his eyes, had already approached from the other side of the corridor, grabbed the courier's arm, and pulled him and the package into the door.
No matter what Tangze discovered, it was right to control it first.
Shimabukuro Kimie slowly grabbed the other person's arm, and worked together with Hoshikawa Teru to pull the person towards the reception room.
"Hey, this customer, if you have something to communicate with, there is no need to be like this..." The courier who was grabbed by the two people was still struggling hard until he was pulled into the room. They looked confused as to what they were going to do.
"Stop pretending to be Kidd." Karasawa, who was fighting against his messy hair with a comb, walked into the reception room from the other side and directly revealed the other party's identity.
The courier's struggling movements suddenly stopped. Kuroba Kaito remained silent for a few seconds, and looked at Karasawa for a while to make sure that he really recognized his identity and was not deceiving. , finally slumped his shoulders and pulled off the hat on his head.
"...How did you see this? I didn't even use the disguise mask this time. The disguise is absolutely perfect, okay?" He smoothed his hair a few times and returned to the black color of his hairstyle. Yu Kaito was very unconvinced, "You can tell my identity from such a distance?"
In order not to be seen through by Karasawa at a glance, Kuroba Kaito carefully selected a suitable outfit and carefully corrected his facial contours with cosmetics. He even did not forget to draw the small marks on his hands that were consistent with professional characteristics, just to test Karasawa. How on earth could he be accurately identified.
Having seen Karasawa's miraculous power of magic rather than magic, he even beat Kuroba Kaito to death and didn't believe that Karasawa recognized it with his eyes.
Now he is very convinced that this guy Tangze is cheating, and he definitely has some special identification method!
Using superpowers to deal with magicians is a foul, okay? Foul!
“Is there anything I can’t guess?” Tangze looked at him like an idiot, “You have worked so hard to modify the painting for two days, will you really hand it over to the home delivery company and let them help? Do you deliver it to your door? ”
Not to mention, this signature is a painting by Kitagawa Yusuke. It is the work of a Kaitou Shameful Gunman whose artistic level is unparalleled in the world. Even if he killed Kuroba Kaito, he would not let it pass through other people's hands.
If someone discovers this, Kidd cannot afford to lose this person.
Of course, he can indeed cheat.
With Tarot, whether it is Kuroba Kaito or Chrissy Wynyard, these face-changing masters of Ke Xue are destined to be invisible in Tangze's eyes.
And even without Tarot, with his third eye that has been repeatedly strengthened by detectives and undercover agents, Karasawa can easily identify disguisers.
——After all, except for girls with heavy makeup that looks like they have had their faces changed, normal people can’t have a special red light on their faces, right?
“You call that a change?!” Feeling offended by Karasawa’s arrogant words, Kuroba Kaito couldn’t help but jump up, “That was basically my own painting, okay!”
"I did provide a first draft, right? I also took the reference photos." Karasawa, who was not blushing at all, took the plate handed over by Miyano Akemi and pointed at the person being served by Asai Narumi with the tip of the sandwich. Dragging the painting into the room, "You can't deny that this is indeed our joint creation, right?"
"If delaying can be counted as part of the creation, then you did participate." Kuroba Kaitoban He glanced at Tangze, but did not refuse the hot chocolate he handed over.
Joker was just talking about his plan, but he had to work hard for several days. Drinking a cup of chocolate from him, Kuroba Kaito didn't feel guilty at all.
Karasawa has no taste whatsoever, and is a shame in the Phantom Thieves world. The only thing worthy of praise is that his taste is quite close to his own.
Because of his superpowers, when this group of people takes action, except for him who occasionally participates in plans and knows the movements in advance, he will not be seen by other colleagues, otherwise he would have been expelled and stolen. .
“You have to admit that this stylized Mount Fuji is quite creative, right?” Karasawa, whose artistic level was questioned, firmly refused to admit Kuroba Kaito’s point of view, “If I win the prize in the end , I got a quarter of this award.”
“You’re saying that the paint you left behind couldn’t be cleaned at all, so I had to make new innovations based on your bad color. So it was processed into a color filter?" Kuroba Kaito clicked his tongue in disgust, "Don't draw such a thick sketch next time. It's more troublesome to paint your painting than to make a fake."
"If the fake you made can be used in the competition, I will definitely adopt it." Thinking of the pile of photos sent by Kuroba Kaito, Karasawa shook his head for a while.
"I'm not practicing painting to participate in any competition." Kuroba Kaito, who has always had excellent professional skills, looked arrogant. "As long as the judges are not blind, I can get any ranking I want."
Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sigh again.
Although he honed his various artistic creation abilities for the sake of the Phantom Thief's business ability, after all, his artistic attainments are sufficient here. Of course, he also has a little bit of pride as an artist.
However, he had to come and be a gunman because of Tangze's request. He really paid too much for this alliance.
After taking a sip of the sweet hot cocoa, Kuroba Kaito said sadly: "So, Yuishi, give me two more."
"There's nothing else to say. Let's not talk about this." Tang Ze waved his hand coldly, "Aren't you sure that that thing isn't Pandora? Why do you need such a large amount?"
"It's really not. Pandora, at least, does not match the characteristics of Pandora that I heard about. But I found that it seems to have some special uses. Anyway, give me some more." Kuroba Kaito pointed to the package being opened. With a threat, "Next, you will need my continued assistance in the follow-up operations of 'Kitagawa Yusuke'."
This is one of the reasons why he could agree to Karasawa's request.
Even if he didn't use his full strength considering his status as a beginner, it would still be Kaitou Kid's painting, and it would be difficult for him to draw unfamiliarly even if he wanted to deliberately draw it.
And if this identity shows such a level, it can’t be worse than now, right?
Therefore, there are still many opportunities for Tang Ze to rely on him in the future!
“I’m taking advantage of the situation, right?”
“I won’t gain much from doing this favor for you. I have to be a ghostwriter, and I’ll lose my reputation if it spreads.”
"Just think of this as a pen name! You can use this identity if you like."
"I want to be a painter, and I need another identity from you? Four, give me four more Well, everything is easy to say.”
"Only two, no more."
"Then three, I've almost ground the two of you for research, two are of no use at all..."
The few people who were originally looking at the painting with great interest looked at each other with subtle expressions, then silently dragged the painting away.
The atmosphere here is a bit too social. If I continue to listen to it, I almost won’t be able to look directly at a good painting.
When Asai Narumi, who was walking at the end, closed the corridor door, the two haggling monster thieves stopped their bidding and looked at each other.
"Tell me, why did you have to drag me in?" Kuroba Kaito, who knew that Karasawa recognized him and had no need to call him in, lowered his voice slightly, "Is there anything you can't say on the line?"
"I have a little, little idea." Karasawa pinched two fingers and made a gesture that would be reported in Korea. "You still remember Kudo Shinichi, right?" "How is that possible? I don't remember. I have to thank him. His identity is really useful when dealing with the police." As soon as Kuroba Kaito opened his mouth, he said something that made Conan furious.
"That's it. Now, our poor persecuted detective has a little trouble..."
The two monster thieves who lowered their voices had their heads next to each other. The head whispered, and the sinister and social atmosphere in the living room inexplicably became stronger.
————
“You have to get better soon, it’s time for the school festival in two days. If the heroine is absent, our drama will be ruined.”
"I said there was nothing wrong with me. It was my father who insisted that I stay in the hospital for observation for two more days. In fact, I can be discharged from the hospital on the same day." Taking the fruit from her friend, Mao Lilan looked at her The bandage on the wrist, "You have to be careful about your health, Sonoko."
"There is nothing I can do. The knight used a simulated iron sword. It was extremely heavy. I didn't pay attention and couldn't hold it firmly... "Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her wrist, feeling very regretful, "It seems that I can't play the role of the knight who saves you. The prince and the princess were injured at the same time. It's really a disaster for the crew. "
So. , Sure enough, you shouldn’t choose a troublesome program like a drama for the sake of cliché romantic drama...
Mao Lilan shook his head and became concerned about the future of this show: "Have you found a replacement? You have to recite the script and modify the costumes. Time is very tight."
"This is not Is there a ready candidate?" After patting her chest, Suzuki Sonoko pulled the man behind her, who was always looking at his cell phone, to the side of the hospital bed.
"Hey, do you want Tang Ze to play the prince?" Mao Lilan was stunned, and her eyes instinctively lowered. She remembered that Conan, who had a cold, was not allowed to visit the hospital, and then regained control of her expression and looked at Tang Ze raised his head.
The script they chose included a kissing scene.
Although I didn't originally plan to kiss, I was just borrowing the place, but if it were an actor, even if they didn't actually kiss, the school would definitely be full of gossip in the next period of time.
Thinking of Mouri Kogoro and Conan who would come to watch the performance, and looking at Tang Ze's handsome face, Mao Lilan became worried in advance.
“Isn’t this a perfect choice!” Suzuki Sonoko patted Karasawa’s arm and felt that her idea was perfect, “Karasawa is so thin, he will have no problem wearing my clothes. , I don’t even need the height-increasing shoes. And with Tang Ze’s special memory, I can memorize them all after reading the script once!”
In fact, it’s not a big problem if you can’t memorize most of the lines! They are all from the heroine's side. As a cool and handsome male protagonist, the black knight's lines in the script are quite limited.
So, as a leading actor, it’s enough to be handsome!
Mao Lilan looked at Tang Ze who was confused and felt helpless.
Sonoko probably just wanted to see Karasawa wearing the handsome black knight costume...
"Is this the ward?" While the three people were talking, a head poked in, "Moori Is Lan here? "
"It's Kazuya and Hattori, why are you here?" Mao Lilan, who was sitting on the bed, waved to the door.
"We heard that you and Kudo were involved in the bombing and were injured, so we rushed over immediately." Toyama and Ye walked in the door holding a bouquet of carnations, "Are you okay?"
"No, no, it's just a small scratch or something. You guys are really exaggerating." Mao Lilan took the bouquet in her hand and looked at the fruits piled up on the bedside, dumbfounded.
If there had only been an explosion in the Mihua Municipal Building, it would have made many front-page headlines, but people who don't follow this kind of news would never know the details.
However, through the Phantom Thieves' generous city-wide broadcast, the paranoid artist's deliberate revenge on the detective's family caused a stir in the city.
When I learned that she was hospitalized because of this incident, everyone who knew her a little bit came to visit her. There was an endless stream of visitors to her place.
"Karasawa, you are here too. Er, where is Conan?" Hattori Heiji followed into the ward. He didn't see anyone familiar, so he subconsciously looked around.
"He choked on too much smoke at the fire scene and his throat doesn't feel good. He is resting at home." Tang Ze explained, blinking twice quickly with his back to everyone.
Hattori Heiji quickly understood and nodded clearly: "That's it, as long as nothing happens."
Looking at Karasawa's appearance, Kudo must have some new plans.
"Yes, there was no danger, but the noise was too much." Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at them, "Thank you for your concern."
"I just walked in. When I was there, I heard you guys talking about scripts and stuff..." After the brief greetings, Toyama and Ye couldn't help but curiously looked at Karasawa and Suzuki Sonoko, who was grabbing his arm, "Are there any performances? "< br>
"Yes, this weekend is Teidan's school festival, and Xiaolan has a show to perform. It is a very popular play in the theater. If you are interested, you can also come and participate." Suzuki Sonoko He carefully looked at Hattori Heiji, who was dark-skinned and sporty, healthy and handsome, and invited him hospitably.
"Oh? Mori-san will play the heroine. Then, will Karasawa play the male lead?" Hattori Heiji opened his eyes wide and glanced at Karasawa in surprise.
In front of Kudo, then you are really brave, Karasawa. I support you!
From the straightforward look in the other party's eyes, he felt that watching a good show is not too big a deal. Just as Karasawa was about to say something, he glanced behind Hattori Heiji and immediately changed the direction of his words.
"Dr. Shinde, are you here to see Mr. Ran? Good morning."
"Good morning, everyone." Shinde Tomoaki walked into the ward with a smile and looked at the room carefully. Mao Lilan, who looked good, looked around the ward again, "It's very lively here."
"The new doctor, you're here too!" Suzuki Sonoko, who reacted faster than Mao Lilan, was happy for the new handsome guy for a while, then saw the puzzled expression on his face and quickly adjusted his expression, "Sorry, before We are going to ask Karasawa about the replacement you mentioned."
"Oh? Karasawa-kun, do you agree?" Shinde Tomaki glanced at Karasawa in surprise, "Judy. The teacher said that Karasawa doesn’t like to perform in public, and he doesn’t even want to participate in sitcoms in English class. "
What’s going on, Kumail, do you want to do a kissing scene with Angel? ? I see where your skin is itchy and you want to relax quickly.
"I really don't like that kind of occasion." Reading this sentence keenly from Bermod's eyes, Tangze nodded and said euphemistically, "However, the situation is special, and What Suzuki-san means is that a large part of this role is masked. The main actor is still Lan-san, but he is just helping me a little. It doesn’t matter if it’s me.”
Don’t talk nonsense, I am. But it doesn’t mean anything else, and when the time comes, I won’t be the one on stage.
Belmode squinted his eyes slightly, examined the expression on his face for a while, slowly turned away his eyes, and smiled at Mao Lilan again: "It seems that everyone still prefers young handsome guys. What a pity. "
"No, no, new doctors are very popular." Knowing that he was joking, Mao Lilan quickly clarified, "I'm just participating in a stage play, and I have to attend rehearsals and memorize lines. It's too troublesome. You."
"It's okay, don't comfort me, I'm past the age of self-doubt when being disliked by girls." Belmod smiled gently at her and stretched out his arms without any explanation. Tang Ze's shoulders were silently straining.
The candidate suddenly changed from herself to this guy. She didn't believe it at all that there was no intervention from Kumail.
"Give the opportunity to Mr. Karasawa. Mr. Karasawa, seize the opportunity and perform well." After patting Mr. Tangze twice on the shoulder, Belmod glanced at him with a clear questioning look in his eyes.
What is the special situation? You'd better give me an explanation.
"...I will do my best." After silently bearing Belmod's heavy blow, Tangze sighed longly in his heart.
Although it was indeed a flash of inspiration from Suzuki Sonoko, Belmode would definitely not believe what he said, and he would have to explain this matter later.
By the way, I have to explain Moritani Teiji’s problem clearly.
In the eyes of Bermod, Moritani Teiji, who came for Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, already had a way to kill him, and Kuo failed to directly deal with Moritani Teiji first. Mel, the identity of this protector is somewhat disqualified.
We didn't meet her here today. She will come to Tangze to hold her accountable later.
Hey, isn’t this still Conan’s whimsical idea? The effects of the show are all controlled by Conan, and the butt is wiped by him. He has really paid too much for this alliance.
So, if I go back to find you some harmless fun, you can’t blame me for being unethical, right?
